Description
Set against the backdrop of an Irish town in 1985, this novella explores the complexities of a community on the cusp of Christmas. As the seasons change, the past begins to rise up, forcing individuals to confront the complicit silences that have governed their lives.
Through the eyes of a coal and timber merchant, the author masterfully weaves a narrative of quiet desperation and the weight of unspoken truths. As the weeks leading up to Christmas unfold, the boundaries between past and present begin to blur, revealing the intricate web of relationships and the unspoken rules that govern human behaviour.
